Why the Odd Titles?

You might notice that my entries have obscure titles like "No Standing Merely by Virtue of Membership in the Tax Base" which the news titled "Supreme Court Dismisses Case on Tax Breaks." I know, the second title is a lot more understandable, but its wrong. The news outlets constantly misconstrue what the real question is. In fact, almost the only time they are right is when they are talking about those few cases at the end of the term where the question really is as broad as they make it out to be (like Kelo v. New London).

Anyway, my titles are my small personal revolt against the way the news media get it wrong.
